7. Why your business wasn’t chosen? We didn’t want to purchase too many lockboxes. We went off of hours of operation and traffic count. We didn’t want all businesses having to manage the applications and monies coming in.

14. Do I have to decorate as a business? Nope, but if you have a store side in the village it would be great to have your support…. Even if your not a Clark Griswold

15. What Happens After The registration deadline? December 13 th the signs scattered through village will change to “Start Here” and the take one boxes will change over to “event maps”.
